Should You Pull Your Money Out of the Stock Market Right Now?
To say that this is a difficult time to be an investor would be an understatement. With major market indexes being down significantly, a lot of people are seeing losses in their portfolios. And if you're one of them, you may be inclined to ditch your stocks before more damage ensues. But pulling your money out of the stock market right now is a move you might sorely regret.
At this point, your portfolio may be down 25% or 30% year to date. If that's the case, your logic might be that liquidating your stocks now means avoiding a scenario where you're looking at a 40% or 50% loss.
